Capricorn — today

There's a friend you've been keeping at a careful distance, and they probably haven't noticed, which is exactly how you've arranged it. *Saturn in Aries* is opposing your chart from the seventh house axis, and the specific discomfort it applies today is the discomfort of realising you've been managing this friendship rather than having it. You decide how often you see them. You decide when you're available. You're very good company when you're there, and you're there precisely as much as feels safe to you, and not a single dinner more. The *Moon* is in your sign, which means your own feelings are right at the surface today. You'll experience this as clarity rather than vulnerability, and you're welcome to call it whatever you like, but at some point today someone you actually like will ask how you are, and you'll say fine with such conviction they'll believe you, and there'll be a brief moment when you almost wish they hadn't. *Venus opposing Saturn* confirms it: closeness is on offer and you'll negotiate the terms before accepting any. You don't dislike this person. That's the whole problem.
